Undercover Love

Extended Dinner Plans

A common misconception is that chloroform is an effective kidnapping drug. Wrong. It can take up to five minutes to knock a grown adult. Although, it does have a nice sweet smell it's not exactly the best. Isoflurane. That's good. Smart. Knock out a horse like nothing.

"Both?" Hotch takes a deep breath to remain calm.

"We think so," Rossi says, he's not as calm. "All of their victims bought houses with the help of Sofie Addams real estate agency."

Hotch looks over his shoulder, Emily is slapping Joey's arm in a manor that suggest she's happy and Sofia seems to be just as pleased with him.

"Right," he's going to have to get Emily out of this. "I'll... I'm going to go get Emily. I'll call you when we're out."

"Wait-"

Hotch shoves his phone down into his pocket and pulls on his best smile," what are you guys talking about?"

Joey smiles, both men can see the lie in the other's eyes," we were talking about going to our house. You know, ditching this place for a nicer quieter one?"

Sofia looks at him with this look. Hotch gives his best smile to Emily, he doesn't need her freaking out, and takes a long drink from his cup. "We might need to stop by our place first." Hotch smiles at Emily again, praying she'll catch on to his silent message. She doesn't.

However, she does agree that they should stop by their house.

Hotch graces them with another smile," okay. Good, I'm going to the bathroom."

Hotch turns and he starts forming a plan. As long as they can get home they can hit their panic button. He'll send Emily first, she can hit the panic button while he keeps watch. If, even for a moment, he feels like that plan won't work, Emily's ring. That should-

A sharp pain shoots up the back of his head. He falls to his knees and the world spins dangerously fast.

"You just had to go and ruin it, didn't you?" Joey grabs him by his hair, a black cloth closes over his mouth. It scentless, his mind is groggy and he knows he needs to yell and make sure Emily gets out but he can't even grunt in pain.

"They didn't make their check-in time."

The remainder of the team all look up from the activities that had previously held their attention.

"What?" JJ asks with a mix of disbelief and anger.

Reid stares blankly," you just talked to them though."

Rossi seats his phone on the desk," it's been an hour. They should have called."

Morgan stands up, sending his chair rolling," well then why are we just seating here! He could be hurting them!" They look at him. Morgan's always been the more aggressive one. They all get in to deep. There are just cases that get to you and Morgan has a lot of those. He's nearly put holes in many hospital walls.

He looks like a child. His eyes plead with them in a way that a child might beg for a cookie. "What? We can't just let them slip under. We have.." Morgan looks down at his watch," about twenty hours. We have to find them."

Rossi takes a deep breath," we all want to find them Derek. Believe me but we're all out of clues."

Garcia, who had started typing like a mad man, chuckles," that's where you're wrong my Italian God."

Garcia turns her computer to them," they knock their victims out. Now I've looked around and there's multiple drugs that would have been smart. I'm pretty sure you guys said they were smart and organized. Uh...Desflurane, Sevoflurane, Isoflurane, Enflurane, Halothane.. you do need a prescriptions for desflurane and sevoflurane but you can order Isoflurane online. You guys said they were smart. I think one of these is what they used."

Rossi breaks out his Italian love and kisses Garcia's forhead," there you go mio amore."

Garcia giggles and shrugs," you can save your applause for a later date. I'm going to find out everything I can to make sure our babies get back."

They all cringe, leave it to Garcia to make saving Hotch and Emily into another awkward shindig.

"God, do you know how much I love you?" Morgan asks putting his chin in the top of her head.

"One can only guess when it comes to love," Garcia sighs dramatically.

The first smile in days falls across Morgan's face," I love you baby girl."

Garcia smiles," oh I know."

I hope you guys like this because I'm sure I got put on a whole bunch of federal watch lists with the research I had to do
